You only use "only" with the cents value if the total amount is less than one dollar.

If you were writing a check for $0.65, you would write it as "Only 65 cents."

(In real life this happens very rarely. If you are writing a check at the grocery store for 65 cents something is very wrong with your finances.)

In the days when I wrote cheques, I'd write "One hundred and twenty pounds only' (for example) to indicate that there were no pence.

 

[SoothingDave]

I was taught to write "and no cents" in that situation.

I see no reason at all to write only on a cheque.

I learned something new today. (The "only" bit.)

I'm also not sure if there's any place that would take personal checks in that amount. I'm sure there's a threshhold over which they want a bank check.
